THE CLEVELAND COURIER
COL. XXII, No 83.
Volstead Act Liberalized By New
Ruling Fortner Att'y Gen. Palmer
Just before U. S. Att’y Gen. A.
Mitchell Palmer left the office he
made a ruling that upset the Vol¬
stead act, or liberalized the inter¬
pretation of the law, according to
a public report made recently by
Rev. Com. Williams.
The ruling holds, among other
things, that the government has no
power under the prohibition law to
limit the quality of liquors of what
souer kind manufactured or sold
for beverage purposes. Any rules
permitting the limit of production
of of any sucli liquors would
in effect be an “amendment to the
law itself” and are invalid.”
In Loving Memory of Mrs
Martha Turner (neeDavis)
On the evening of February ioth
Martha fell peacefully asleep in
Jesus after an illness of only five
days. She leaves a husband and a
little hoy two years old, a mother,
seven sisters, one brother and
host of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. She was a mem
ber of Town Creek Baptist Church
where she had been a member for
eight years. As a Christian her
life was truly a guiding light to
those who would follow the path of
righteousness She wrs a daughter
of the late Mrs. A. A. and John F.
Davis, whom we admire for the
way they raised her up.
She was born in Union county,
December 4, 1894, and was married
to Luther Turner June 22, 1913
They came to Cincinnati about a
year ago, where they lived happ'ly
until the home was broken up by
death. Her remains were carried
back to Georgia, where she was
laid to rest in Town Creek ceine
tery to await the coming of Jesus
to gather His children home. Oh,
how we miss»*her, but our loss is
heaven’s gain.
It is decreed in the council of
God that we must part with those
we love best. Our onlv consola-

Don’t Start Too Late!
A MAN WAS RUNNING hard to catch a car.
He was almost ready to swing aboard when the
car started forward and the conducsor closed the door.
A friend who was near him said: “John, you didn’t
run fast enough.”
Yes I din run fast enough.” he replied, “but I didn’t
start soon enough.”
And that is the story of those folks who put off saving
money until they are well along in life. They may
save ns fast as they can, but they will find that they
did not start soon enough.

Big Fish Fry and Chicken Feast
At Union City On Fourth oi July
Senator Thomas E. Watson and
Governor Thomas E. Hardwick
will be the principal speakers at
Enion City on the Fourth of July
at the biggest fish fry and chicken
feast ever given in Georgia, ac¬
cording to plans of the Campbell
Gounty Farmers’ Union and other
citizens of the county. Both dis¬
tinguished Georgians have accepted
the invitation to deliver addresses.
A huge tank has been built at
Union City, in which 10,000 river
catfish will be fattened for the
feast, and the farmers are raising
more than a thousand chickens to
be fried for the occasion.
Charles S. Barrett, president of
the National Farmers’ Union, and
other men of national prominence,
will be among the honored guests,
Tlie hosts extend an invitation to
the "state-at large” to be their
gaests on this occasion.
fion is that we believe in a meeting
in the great beyond where there’ll
be no more parting.
Martha is game but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Sweet thoughts shall ever linger
'Round the grave where Martha’s laid.
And her life though short and pleasant
As a warm and melting ray.
Or a Uower that blooms at morning
And at evening fades away.
We loved her, Oh! we loved her,
But the Savior loved her more,
So the angels sweetly called her
To that bright and happy shore.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said “Come!"
And with farewells unspoken
She calmly entered home.
A tender wife, a mother dear,
Has gone and left us mourning here.
She parted from this world of pain,
But only died to live again.
We loved her, Oh! no tongue can tell
How much we loved her and how well;
God loved her too and thought it
To take her home with him to rest.
It was hard to part with Martha,
Oh, so sad to sec her die;
II it then we will trr to meet ber
Some sweet day by and by.

J, B. R, Barrett Made Chairman
For White County in Promot¬
ing Greater Tech Campaign
Mr. J. B. R. Barrett has been
has been offered and has accepted
the chairmanship of the Greater
Georgia Tech committee fer White
county, and will have charge of
this important branch of (he cam¬
paign designed to raise a million
dollars a yhar for fiv; years for the
Georgia School of Technology.
The Greater Georgia Tech cam¬
paign will begin April 20, under
peculiarly favorable conditions. Its
objective is $5,000,000 to expand
the Georgia School of Technology
into a technical training institution
of an enrollment of 5,000 students,
and of training them as well as any
school in the world into producers
—men who wsll develop the enor¬
mous natural resources of the state,
now for the most part either un¬
touched or sent out in crude form
to be made into valuable commer¬
cial products in other states, which
thus reap practically all the benefit
and profit.
The appointment of Mr. Barrett
as county chairman is a step in a
great general organization, begin¬
ning with the acceptance of Victor
Allen, of Buford, as chairman of
the State Executive Committee.
White county has no better rnan
than Mr. Barrett in starting the or¬
ganization and seeing it through to
success. We all know his ability,
enthusiasm and integrity. He does
not know the words can’t and fail¬
ure.
The money that is to be raised
for the establishment of a research
laboratory at Georgia Tech, if suc¬
cessful, will be the only one south
of the Mason and Dixon line,which
will prove of vast importance to a
great industrial development in
Georgia. The students and chem¬
ists will go into our own industries
and there assist in working out the
many problems that will be a Start¬
ing point in making our Empire
State of the South the Empire
State of the Union. We have the
natural resources in Georgia, but
unfortunately they are manufactur¬
ed in the east; therefore practically
all the benefits and profits go there,
Georgia’s greatest asset is her
young men, but they are untrained.
We must train them if we would
reap the benefits. Will we fail?
Here in White county lie un¬
counted resources that would be de¬
veloped if this research laboratory
was established. Then, with these
vital facts before you, can we fail
in not seeing this campaign made
a great success?

It’s A Matter oi Worth
More Than of Cost
A reminder that this is March,
the first spring month, is entirely
superflous; the roads in most rural
communitias glaringly proclaim the
fact. It just simply can’t escape
your attention. While the use of
the roads is not so extensive as at
busier marketing seasons, the er¬
rands to town are more urgent.
Repair parts for implements must
be secured, which will soon be
needed. Then, too there is gener¬
ally more sickness at this time of
the year and ailments are perhaps
more acute. Often the speed with
which help can be summoned de¬
cides the fate of a life hanging in
the balance. Verily this is a good
time to preach good roads. The
weather is favorable for the launch¬
ing of road improvement projects,
while the need of good roads is so
distressingly apparent. During
March a hard road could easily be
considered a wise investment at al¬
most any cost, while a little later
the cost of the road and not its
benefits may be the deciding factor
in the argument.
There will probably be a notice¬
able recession in road building costs
this season, and road improvement
projects should be resumed on a
large scale, for better roads are a
pgjjbuLrequisite in the solution of
al fflMP farm problems. Their worth

If White county wants Federal
aid UjMpftvie lagfeeL she is going after it.

if we are to receive this Federal aid
we must do something at once.
